"Big Poke" is a plant­ ation plain style house, while "Little Poke" is influenced by the Bungalow movement. All buildings are wood frame with metal roofs and shiplap siding. Both of the main houses have been covered with vinyl siding. Possum Poke is a very unpretentious collec­ tion of buildings, none of which display extensive detailing or ornamentation. Big Poke is a two story frame house built in 1905 out of uncured pine. It has a gable roof, shiplap siding covered with vinyl siding, and is designed on the basic rectangular floor plan with an ell addition. The front porch has chamfered square columns on low bases and a simple, new railing. The porch has a channel metal roof. The windows are double hung with two over two panes. The interior is sheathed in horizontal board siding. These boards are wide downstairs and cover the walls, floors and ceilings. Those upstairs are narrow. There are also simple window and doorway surrounds. The doors are four panel doors. There is a brick fireplace in the north room and a wooden one with half columns in the south room. The south room also has a four-lamp kerosene chandelier. The doors and windows contain their original locks. The house is filled with memorabilia. The first floor contains two large rooms separated by a steep stairway. Behind these main rooms are a bathroom and kitchen. Separated from the kitchen by a breezeway are two servant rooms. The second floor is reached by the stairway and contains four identical bedrooms. Each contains a rope attached to the wall to serve as a fire escape. The lighting consists of exposed light bulbs dangling from the ceiling on drop wires. Little Poke is a one story frame house that is three rooms deep with a side addition (c. 1950) consisting of a kitchen, bath and office. The house has a gable roof, shiplap siding that has been covered with vinyl siding, and rests on a brick pier foundation. The house has a basic rectangular plan and is very unpretentious. There is a wire fence gate leading to the house. The windows are one over one panes and are double hung with plain board surrounds. There is a striated brick fireplace in the front room which was Governor Osborn's study. There are plasterboard walls and ceilings and narrow board floors. The doors have simple horizontal panels and there is a pull-down stairs for entrance to the attic. There is a latticed back porch and simple boxed eaves that were covered over by the new siding. There are several outbuildings as shown on the enclosed Sketch Map. The majority of the outbuildings are one story, wood frame buildings with shiplap siding and corner boards. The roofs are sheet metal painted green. They have stuccoed brick foundations. The barn-garage, chicken house and smoke house all have flush wood siding. The banana house (attached to the barn-garage) has two glass walls. Also on the property are a flagpole and memorials to Governor Chase Osborn (who is actually buried in Michigan) and his widow who still resides on the property. (CONTINUED) NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No. 1024-0018 (3-82) Exp. 10-31-84 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form Continuation sheet Description Item number 7 Page Possum Poke is situated in the woods in a very natural setting. The underbrush is kept out but trees and shrubs are allowed to grow in their natural state. The landscape is informal and contains pecan trees, dogwood and holly trees as well as bushes and shrubs all surrounded by a stand of pine trees on a level terrain. The wooded site is much as it always has been at the hunting camp setting. It is only a short distance north of U.S. highway 82 and just inside the city limits of the small town of Poulan. The only major changes to the property have been the rebuilding of "Little Poke" after the 1934 fire and the addition of vinyl siding to Big Poke and Little Poke in 1981. The new siding has not damaged the original siding and does not sig­ nificantly change the appearance of the structures. PHOTOGRAPHS The Historic Preservation Section has determined that the photographs taken in August, 1981 still represent the character and appearance of the property. No significant changes have been made since that date. 8.

Architecturally, the design of the Possum Poke complex reflects the simple tastes and closeness to nature desired by its owner- builder, Governor Chase S. Osborn (1860-1949) of Michigan. "Big Poke," although a 20th Century building, reflects the antebellum style known as Plantation Plain. "Little Poke" reflects a style more in keeping with the 1930 's when it was rebuilt. The governor is known to have liked camping retreats and owned several in Michigan, in which state he inade his permanent residence during the early twentieth century. According to his widow he liked the rustic, simplistic styling and accoutrements that are maintained today at Possum Poke. In the history of conservation, the site is significant because it reflects Governor Osborn 's interest in conservation during his years of public ser­ vice until his death in 1949. The hunting camp was established at Possum Poke at a time when rustic camps like it were in vogue at a national level as a reflection of the beginning of the conservation movement . The site is significant in politics and government because it is associated with Governor Chase S. Osborn of Michigan. It was here that the governor came seasonally with several of his colleagues to discuss his progressive political beliefs. According to the Dictionary of American Biography, Osborn was elected as a reform governor and succeeded in getting many changes enacted in Michigan during his one term, including a presidential primary and a workmen's compensation act. Due to his successes, he has had a lasting effect in Michigan's history. He was considered liberal, and a Progressive Republican. His later interests included science, folklore and travel and were the subjects of many of his books. Many were written with Stellanova Osborn, who, as his widow, has continued working toward the same ideals. One of their last causes together was the establishment of an international union of parliamentary democracies, which Mrs. Osborn has continued to champion. These areas of significance support property eligibility under National Register Criteria A, B, and C. Possum Poke in Possum Lane had its origins in the first decade of the Twentieth Century as a hunting camp for a small group of northerners who liked to spend part of the winter months in South Georgia. Among these men were Chase Salmon Osborn, a Michi­ gan politician who became governor of that state in 1911. The group purchased one acre of land in 1905 and thereon erected their "Hunter's Lodge" ("Big Poke"). About five individuals were involved in this venture, and were represented by De Forest Payne, of Detroit, Michigan as trustee. In: 1909 Osborn bought an adjacent tract of ten acres where he erected a smaller hunting lodge of his own. In 1920, he completely bought out the other partners in the original hunting camp. The following quote is taken from the History of Worth County, Georgia, by Lillie Martin Grubbs: "To be a bit independent of the camp I bought a few acres and built a camp on a smaller scale for my own use and also set out pecan trees."

Five miles long, it curves gracefully across the waters of the Great Lakes. Traffic moves swiftly and smoothly across its great length twelve months of the year. With a price tag of $100 million it is the product of man's imagination and a monument to man's persis- tance. The first proposals to bridge the Straits are found in Indian legends. Ever since the task of con- quering the travel barrier has colored man's thoughts. The concept of conneCting the two peninsulas traces thread-like down.through the pasn eighty years of Michigan's history. This is the story of the political loops and turns, knots and tangles in that thread. It is the story of the role and effect of the bridge in the politicalcampaigns of the twentieth century, which is pinpointed through analysis of election statistics. It is the story of Horatio Earle, Prentiss harsh Brown, Lmrray Van Wagoner, w.s. woodfill, and G, Lbnnen Williams, Although the bridge did not change the direction of Michigan political hiStory, it probably swayed its course simply because it was seized upon as an issue by candidates of every ilk and stripe.

  • The Campaigner
    THE CAMPAIGNER The Battle Begins When Al Smith had struck his final pose for the newspaper photographers, when his joyous supporters had tired of celebrating his nomination, and when the last delegate had left Houston for home, Smith and the party of which he was now the standard-bearer had to get down to the business of organizing a campaign and devising a strategy that would produce an upset victory in November. The task of getting organized carried special urgency for Smith: although he and his political associates had already begun to give some thought to the campaign even before the national convention, they were hardly well-prepared for the formidable task that lay ahead. Smith could not count upon a strong party organization for much help to ease his transition from governor to presidential nominee. The national Democratic Party in June 1928 consisted of little more than a name, a small treasury, and a national committee (two persons from each state and territory) that was largely ceremonial in nature. There was no permanent staff, no planning apparatus, no press office, not even a physical headquarters – and yet the election was only months away. Smith would have to move swiftly to deal with these handicaps. The logistical problems involved in establishing a headquarters, assembling a staff, preparing campaign publicity, and commencing a national campaign paled in significance, however, in comparison with the challenge of mapping out a strategy that would enable the Democrats to carry the country against Herbert Hoover and the Republicans by convincing potential voters that Smith would make the more capable president.
